Our education provision within mainstream Duke’s Secondary School caters for pupils with moderate learning needs.
The Duke’s Secondary School SEND Information Report (available below) provides information on what services children, young people and their families can expect through Duke’s, including education, health and social care. Knowing what is available gives you more choice and therefore more control over what support is right for your child.
The reports provides information on a number of things, including:
- special educational provision
- health provision
- social care provision
- other educational provision
- leisure opportunities
